--- Comment #5 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2011-09-12 08:59:15 CDT --- Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-plugins/+bug/805940 mentions a custom package, presumably without the bug http://people.canonical.com/~trellis/alsa/libasound2-plugins_1.0.22-0ubuntu6... that seems to be for Ubuntu Lucid.
it goes full sreen
You can either - use ctrl-alt-F1 - F6 to switch to a text console, login and issue speaker-test speaker-test -Dpulse speaker-test -Dplughw:0,0 or some other device - ctrl-alt-right or left (in metacity/gnome) to switch to another screen, depending on how the app went full screen.
You can also tell the app to open a virtual desktop and not get full screen.
I can compile 1.3.25 and try it
Please do. We appreciate precise findings & reports because not everybody experiences the same issues.
Does winecfg's test sound button cause it to hang on your machine?
If you can't either upgrade PulseAudio/alsa_plugins or use another package without the bug, I believe all that is left is to add Wine registry settings to not use the default device and force winealsa to use a working one, e.g. "plughw:0,0". http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys?highlight=(Alsa%20Driver) Drawback: exclusive access to HW implies no more mixing as long as Wine is running. Using "plug:dmix" might not be better because no other app on your Ubuntu machine may still use dmix.
